Review: The best Anki controller out there - Excellent size, good battery life, and seems durable. I use this for reviewing Anki cards while on a treadmill or stationary bike, or otherwise when I just don't want to be tapping on my phone for an hour, and it works perfectly. I haven't actually used this for gaming, I anticipate it might be a bit on the small side to use comfortably with both hands. But for my purposes, it's the perfect size. USB-C, thankfully. Fits in a tiny compartment in my backpack, and for $20, you could have multiple of these for various purposes if you wanted. Pairing is easy, too. If you're looking to use it as an Anki controller for iOS, make sure it is set to "S" mode on the bottom option selector. I don't know if that's also the case for Android or Windows unfortunately.
Review: Great for Travel on the Go—Super Tiny! - When I travel, I often bring my Steam Deck, and sometimes it's nice to have bring a controller. But obviously space in bags and luggage tends to be at a premium on travel, so hauling around a bulky, hefty console controller isn't ideal. So I picked up the 8BitDo Micro. It works great! And it's called a "Micro" for a reason! It weighs barely anything and it can literally fit in the palm of a single hand, it's that tiny. It's even smaller, width-wise than a Switch JoyCon. If you have bigger hands, that might be something to consider. I'm a smaller person, with smaller hands, so it doesn't bother me so much using this tiny controller. But if it does, 8BitDo has larger-but-still-small controllers. Strongly recommend taking a look at other buyer's pictures to really get a sense of the size. Either way, it's better than having no controller. Pairing was a little confusing, since there are a few different ways to pair, depending on what device you're using (Nintendo Switch vs an Android device, for example) so make sure to read the included manual. But once it's paired, you don't have to worry about that anymore. Battery life is excellent. You can go hours and hours on it, before the need to charge via USB-C cable. Obviously there are no analog sticks. There are also no L3/R3 buttons. If the games you play need those, consider using a different controller like the 8BitDo Lite 2. But otherwise, it has all the rest of the standard buttons, including L1 & L2 and R1 & R2. It does have the Nintendo button layout by default. I prefer the Playstation/Xbox button layouts, so I remapped that on my Steam Deck. Not sure how that works on other devices (phones, tablets, etc). It comes with a little silicone wrist strap and a really short USB-C-to-USB-A charging cable (any cable with USB-C on at least one end should work with it). Again, it's a great little controller for gaming on the go. I might even try pairing it with my phone one of these days and seeing if I can use it with the Steam Link app.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Raspberry Pi compatibility the hardware or software? Would this work with Orange Pi 5 Plus hardware or is that dependent on OS choice?**
A: The controller has a switch that allows to change between direct, Xinput adn keyboard mode, so I guess it will work fine with a raspberry pi (if the os or software allow it).

**Q: Is this controller compatible with Anki on the iPhone/iPad? I used my 8bitdo zero 2 on both macOS and iOS, but recently it died on me**
A: I use it for Anki on my iPad all the time. Use it in the switch mode, not keyboard mode. It also doesn't have the same Bluetooth issues that the zero had...

I recently started using this controller and it has quickly become my go-to for on-the-go gaming. It’s incredibly lightweight and compact, yet still feels comfortable in hand for short sessions. Pairing with my devices was seamless, and the custom mapping options made it easy to adjust controls for different games and emulators. The battery life is excellent, lasting around ten hours on a single charge, and it recharges quickly. It’s perfect for retro-style or 2D games while traveling or during downtime. The portability, responsiveness, and convenience make it a standout accessory that exceeded my expectations.
